[Linux] Minion not opening

[RedshiftNova]

I installed Minion to /home/Nova/Minion using the command string given in the FAQ sticky, and attempted to run it - this is the error I get.

nova@pocketnova:~$ java -jar minion.jar
Unable to access jarfile minon.jar

Then I tried to open it by right-clicking the Minion program file itself and telling it to open with Sun Java 6 Runtime - no dice. It doesn't even come up.

I'm running Ubuntu 9.04, and I'm pretty darn certain I've updated Java recently, so it's probably me just not doin it rite. Any help would be appreciated, though >_>;;

Edit: So I realized I wasn't CD-ing the stupid thing at the Minion file.

That's when I got THIS error message:

I dunno what I did, but I think I broke it more.

Nevermind, I figured it out.

When in doubt...sudo! >_>;

Sounds like you need to look closer at how you have things setup, because you shouldn't need to use sudo to run the minion.

I'm using ubuntu 8.10 and I didn't have to use sudo to run minion.

You said you installed minion to :

 ~/Minion

So

$ java -jar ~/Minion/minion.jar

Red you fixed this issue?
